CULTURE

I was on the CULTURE podcast again last night discussing the build up to last night ep of Dynamite. Topics include…

  • WWE's movies have really bad network drama style acting

  • Keeping AEW and other territories fresh by rotating wrestlers in and out

  • The most recent Impact PPV.

  • Defy doing streaming with Pluto TV.

  • AEW's Dark Elevation show doing early 1990s WCW style six person tags.

  • AEW Dark Elevation having wrestlers from New Japan and DDT this week. Also how they keep the crowd from knowing who is wrestling to get big reactions for those shows.

  • DC indie wrestling

  • Triplemania this weekend
